Oliver

Here are a few pics of our new little kitten Oliver. He is a cross between a ragdoll and (I don't remember the name of the breed, I'll edit it when I do) Which are both fairly docile breeds so I'm hoping this kitten won't turn into a nylon scratching, curtain climbing, foot chasing, selfish cat... what I kinda want is a more dog like cat... nice, people pleasing, affectionate cat... I haven't had very great experiences with cats so far, so we'll see... :-P
The kids LOVE Oliver! and Oliver seems to love the attention! Point 1 for the kitten... he also likes to snuggle on my lap and take a nap - another point for the kitten :-) I'm starting to fall in love! He also doesn't shed that much - I haven't had to pick it's hair off my clothes yet, and I wore black today! Another point for the kitten! (the ragdoll breed (it's mama) doesn't shed that much, I'm not sure about the other breed (it's dad)).
Ok here are some pictures now.

Family down from MB for a long weekend

Wow! Such a fun weekend! Here is just a quick rundown of what we did :-)

Friday: Mom, Dad and some sibs arrived, unpacked and settled in.
We took Mom and Dad B out to Chianti's for an anniversary supper, Sherene and Rachel came too. :-)

Saturday: Dad and the boys headed to the waterpark, Rachel went to work, Mom and Sherene Shopped. Matthew and I had to run some errands so we caught up with everyone (except Rach) at noon for lunch. then we shopped with Mom and Sherene till 4ish, then Matthew, Miriam, Dylan, Sherene and I picked up Rach from work and headed home to make supper.

Sunday: Went to both services and had 26 people for supper :-) Super fun!

Monday: Relaxed in the morning, a few went out for breakfast, the rest stayed home for bacon and eggs. We then headed to Fort Edmonton Park for the afternoon.

And that was the end of the weekend :-( I'm super sad to see them go but, we did have an amazing, busy but, yet, sometimes relaxed time while they were here :-) Can't wait to see them in the fall D.V.

Now, some pictures! :-) I kinda forgot most of the weekend to take pictures... so, most of these are from Monday.

Checking out Mom/Nana's new toy!



Some pics from at home

A train ride!




Dylan checking out the chickens.


This post wouldn't be complete without a pic of an old light ;-)



(I stole these two pics from Sherene cuz I didn't take any pics of this)
Miriam petting a horse!!! She has been so interested in horses for the last few months! I thought Miriam would be to scared to pet them but, Nana didn't :-) and Miriam LOVED it! So cool! We are going to have to take her for some pony rides this summer! (Anyone know a good place?)




A super nice horse... although he didn't seem to like Leighton too much, lol!





Miriam was a little to scared to touch the black one :-P But as you can see by her face she was still VERY excited to be so close to a horse!


Love, love, loved this house!







Byron missing his GF :-P


Becca trying to catch a quick nap (she had been up since 3:30am)
